About Me

I’m current a student at TU Munich studying math

Before that I did my bachelors in the USA and then worked in software for 4 years (and moved around for work a lot: San Francisco ➡️ London ➡️ Abu Dhabi ➡️ NYC all over the span of 4 years). Also got to spend some time living in Vienna for research. I’m a big fan of meeting people & learning to do as the locals do

I’m also a magician! So yes, if we meet I will show you some magic tricks 🎩🪄✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to travel in style (read: work payed for most of my trips) but I never really got a chance to make new friends and meet people where I traveled to.

Interests

I would also really like to have spent at least a year or two living on every continent in the world at some point.

  • board games
